Don't Sit on My Lunch! (Ready, Freddy! #4)

My son - 7 years - loved this book! It was so funny but also as a boy appreciated the input and solutions given in such a bully situation. He surely loves reading these books. I like Ready Freddy series where children - in this case a boy- come across in difficult situation in every day school life and the nice ways and solutions are provided in the text with out lecturing....

My son loves these books! They make him laugh. I have purchased all of the Ready Freddy Books published so far and will continue to do so. He is 8 years old and they seem like the reading level is made for children his age.

My son was so reluctant to read any type of chapter book. An hour sitting on the floor of a store with books all over, yielded a Ready Freddy book. The search for the word 'FIN' within each picture captured his attention from the start. After the first chapter, he was hooked. My active, sports-oriented, second grade boy who whined about reading nightly has been hooked on this series ever since that first day. He's read a book a week with enthusiasm and has had a willingness to really discuss the characters, their actions, and their struggles. His vocabulary has grown tremendously, and his fluency gets better and better with each book. I can't say enough about what this series has done for my child. I'd definitely recommend any of the Ready Freddy books for young readers who may need that extra little push to realize that reading can be so much fun.

As a second grade teacher, it is so refreshing to find a new series that motivates my students to read and love doing it. Such was the case when my students discovered the Ready Freddy series last fall. I've heard it described as a male version of Junie B. Jones. While this is somewhat accurate (he is a mischeivious boy), I see a lot more heart in Freddy than I do in Junie. For the most part, he does try hard to do the right thing. The humor in the Freddy books is great as well. Whether he is dealing with his friends Robbie and Jessie, his Neat Freak mom, his bossy older sister, or Max the class bully, Freddy offers his unique perspective on his life that my students get a big kick out of. I have found that both the boys and the girls in my class scrambled to read this latest book. Judging by their reactions, it's just as entertaining as the first three in the Freddy series. I may have to buy more copies of it to keep them from arguing over the one copy I have now! =)
